Today's Tuesday, October 27th.
Here's what we're covering.
It is Election Day in Israel, the first national election since the Hamas-led attacks on October 7th,
which upended life there and ignited Israel's devastating war in Gaza.
Many in the country view today as the most consequential vote in Israel's history,
as people decide between two blocks offering very different visions for the future.
On one side is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
who is seeking re-election as the leader of the most far-right government Israel's ever had.
His coalition offers the promise of a more religious Israel, with an ever-tighter grip over the West Bank and Gaza.
On the other side is a coalition of opposition parties loosely led by Gadi Eisenkot,
a former Israeli military chief of staff whose son was killed in the Gaza war.
That coalition is painting the vote today as the last chance to preserve democracy in Israel
and pull the country back from becoming a pariah state, isolated internationally.
